People usually buy a Christmas tree and decorate it with toys, coloured balls and little coloured lights.
Not all Christmas traditions are old. The first Christmas card was made in 1842 by an English painter John Calcott Horsley who sent that card to one hundred of his friends.
At night Father Christmas comes. He has got a big bag of presents for children. He puts the presents into the children’s stockings.
For Christmas people eat traditional food: turkey, potatoes and green vegetables. Then they have the Christmas pudding. At 5 o’clock it’s time for tea and for Christmas cake.
Candles at Christmas go back to old times. People believed that their light helped him to forget the darkness of winter.
The day after Christmas is called Boxing Day. This is so because Santa puts presents in boxes. Day is on December 27. In past times it was the traditional day to give presents to servants.

Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight,
O Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh (Repeat)
